I was literally overjoyed when I discovered the use desktop view as default setting under the site permissions settings in 133.0 when I installed it on my Android phone (not tablet). I enabled it, and it worked exactly as expected—fantastic!

Unfortunately, the next day it was gone again, and the browser's behavior is as if I never enabled this setting. Please, where did it go, and how do I get it back? Failing that, is there a configuration variable that can be set manually to achieve the same behavior?

Why does Firefox for Android not have a better tab view on larger screens. I want to be able to easily switch between tabs on a large screen. I have the Tab S10 Ultra. I have been using Samsung Internet on my tablet as it looks like a browser on a computer with the large screen, but I want to use Firefox, but it needs to be easier to use on a large screen Android.

How can I remove "Firefox suggests" URLs from the address/search bar on Android? I found the help article "Firefox Suggest for Mobile" (last updated 4/22/24) but when I follow its directions, I only see the first 3 toggleable options. "Suggestions from Firefox" and "Suggestions from sponsors" don't appear at all. The suggested URLs are frequently sites I have never been to and never want to go to, and their appearance is extremely irritating. Attached is a screenshot of the settings page as it appears to me, with only 3 options.

My Firefox for Android has gone nuts. Everything shows in tiny fonts and all formatting has been lost. By that I mean that entire web pages are now showing where previously only pertinent sections were showing.

I've attached a screen shot of my Yahoo email page. Previously only the inbox showed with 20 emails to a page. Now the whole page shows. I have no idea what changed, or what I inadvertently changed, to get this result.

You guys ever going to get around to improving how to interact with bookmarks? When I have downtime during the day and I'd like to move my bookmarks around I can't! This has been an issue for a long time and I know others have asked. This is the one huge reason why I feel forced to use other browsers on my phone when not at home! Please get on this so I can just say on one browser for phone and home.

Running latest version of android on Samsung S23 Ultra Firefox is 13.0.2 build # 2016055415.

I have installed adguard on my phone and wish to import its security certificate but I can not access the Privacy and Security tab to do so.

These tabs in settings are all Blue and do not respond to tapping General, Privacy and Security, Advanced, About All other tabs work correctly.

Also have a Samsung tablet which exhibits identical symptoms

Have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and cleared system cache. I have uninstalled Adguard.

Also I can not figure out how to enter troubleshooting mode on android

I just installed Android V 8.1 and the anti-spam function isn't working. Spam mail is not being automatically filtered as it is supposed to do, and does on the desktop version. In addition the junk/spam mail settings that are supposed to be in the Accounts area are not there and the Swipe to Spam function also doesn't work nor does the "long press" to get to the spam marking option.

Any estimate as to when this functionality will be brought online?

I used to be able to hold the back button down so I could see a short history for the current tab, and I'm not sure if it was an update or a bug, but does anyone know if it's possible to enable it in about:config? It's really useful when you're trying to go back but a redirect is preventing you.
